[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It would save a lot of time if they had test cutoffs--e.g., reading level of 28 and 98th percentile is an automatic in, or something like that.[/quote]

But that’s going backwards. These types of programs used to get filled that way. People finally came to realize test scores aren’t everything and they need to look at more. Yes, it is harder and difficult to ensure consistency, but that doesn’t mean going back to the old way is better. I think they genuinely do the best they can and allowing appeals and referrals every year in addition to outside testing (i.e. WISC, SB, etc) as well as allowing one re-test is a pretty good attempt to ensure catching kids.[/quote]

I don't think you understand what anyone is proposing.  The old way would have been that above a certain threshold is IN, and below is OUT.  What some of us are suggesting is that above a certain threshold is IN, and below means that the packet is prepared and file reviewed, just like it is now.   That approach could at least trim 1000-2000 files off of the pile.  [/quote]
